![]() ![]() Enter the bios setup program and reconfigure the boot settings for either the Windows boot manager or for legacy systems, the drive your OS is installed on if necessary. It should display the POST screen and the options to enter CMOS/BIOS setup. Now, plug the power supply cable back in, switch the PSU back on and power up the system. If you had to remove the graphics card you can now reinstall it, but remember to reconnect your power cables if there were any attached to it as well as your display cable. After the five minutes is up, reinstall the CMOS battery making sure to insert it with the correct side up just as it came out. In some cases it may be necessary to remove the graphics card to access the CMOS battery.ĭuring that five minutes while the CMOS battery is out of the motherboard, press the power button on the case, continuously, for 15-30 seconds, in order to deplete any residual charge that might be present in the CMOS circuit. Remove the motherboard CMOS battery for about three to five minutes. Power off the unit, switch the PSU off and unplug the PSU cord from either the wall or the power supply. If everything is working normal, I would still try to solve it, but I wouldn't give it TOO MUCH weight.įirst thing I would do, is this. You might have one stick that isn't even actually being used or memory that is running at a lower speed than it should be. If the memory IS installed in the correct slots, it might be a good idea to remove and reinstall them, making certain they are fully seated and that the locks at each are engaged in the cutouts at the ends of the memory module.Īlso, I would download CPU-Z, HWinfo or Thaiphoon burner and install one of them, then verify that the memory is ACTUALLY running at the correct speed and shows the correct capacity. If not, you might see problems anywhere from very very minor requiring several "training" passes during POST before it finds a setting it likes or simply won't work at all, and anything in between. On AMD platforms is is a bit less certain and a bit more critical that you try to use memory that is either validated by the memory manufacturer for a specific motherboard or is listed on the motherboard manufacturer's QVL compatibility list. I would first make sure you have the memory installed in the correct slots, which are the A2 and B2 slots located in the second and fourth DIMM locations over from the CPU with the fourth DIMM slot being the one closest to the edge of the motherboard.Īlso, I would want to check the Corsair memory finder utility found on the Corsair website, and verify that Corsair says that the exact model of your memory kit is compatible with the exact model of your motherboard. Q-code 36 is a memory initialization problem during the POST process. ![]()
